Activate Chase Freedom Q2 Today – Grocery Stores & More!

[Disclosure: I may earn compensation if you click on any external links].

Yesterday Chase Freedom cardholders could activate their Q2 Freedom categories, which include grocery stores… and more!

Grocery stores is usually a category (and a popular one!) on this card, but per the site, they’ve added BJ’s Wholesale and Sam’s Club. Should be easier for members of those clubs to max out this category.

Is this 5X bonus capped?

Yes; Chase Freedom categories are capped at $1,500–per quarter, so you can earn up to 7,500 Ultimate Rewards points.

What can these points be used for?

They can be used for cash back, or if you travel, you’ll get great value out of transferring these points to your Chase Sapphire Preferred (review here) or Ink card(s).

When is this bonus good from?

This bonus starts April 1 and ends on June 30; be sure to activate by June 14, but there’s no reason not to do so now.

$1,500 in groceries may be a lot of some people, but many grocery stores sell visa gift cards (which can then be used later for non-grocery spending) or merchant gift cards (think Amazon, Staples, Fandango, AMC, etc.). It’s an easy way rack up some extra points if you’re going to frequent those merchants anyways.
